I have been able to make simpler and more refined test situations with some of the seeming "plugin conflicts" I have been experiencing with RX2 plugs by Izotope (very specialized and generally hungry) with some instances of Waves V9 plugins at the same time.
In terms of real-time playback, almost all errors/stuttering/distortion have been solved simply by raising the buffers of my audio I/O to the max, which is 4096 in this situation. This would, of course, be intolerable for doing ADR, live tracking or anything that required decent latency for monitoring, but seems to work fine in Vegas for playback, and there is no problem with sync for video, which was my only concern.
I am still exhibiting some real time playback problems, but only in the situation where I have the control window open for the Izotope Denoiser plugin while the clip it is on is actively playing back AND I have a Waves L2 installed on the Master Buss. This is a little bizarre, and never happens when that specific control panel display is not open, no matter what other stupid thing I am doing with my plugin setup.
So, this issue clearly concerns a graphics display issue. Don't know whether I will have to update my graphics card, add more RAM or what, but Izotope is gracefully investigating.
The RX2 package is pretty amazing, but a lot of the individual pieces of the package, besides being almost magic in their resultant fixes, are extremely hungry and should probably better be used offline. I have to say, though, that, even when I was using settings that were recommended to be used offline only, things still played back fine once I upped the ante with the buffers (as long as the controls were not being displayed and I did not have the Waves plugin on the Master Buss....but every other situation was now fine)......
The research continues. Izotope folks will be back to work on Tuesday.
In the meantime, I will be investigating my display card and RAM options.
